At state, you've got to show up and play hard. It's like March Madness in February.

That comes with the territory. It was hard (missing the CIC tournament) because those were my last high school games in Anchorage.

It's been a life-long dream for me. But I wouldn't rule hockey out.

I informed the coaching staff, and they thought I was kidding.

Each team is different, and we need to learn to play against each different defense and each different offense.

It's March Madness and its tournament time and we are going to play for our lives. We needed this win big time and this is what I live for.
